Another great TR, Jordan! I think the lack of "spunk" that you speak of back in the Thanksgiving section is just cause it is new. It has already improved since it has been expanded back there, and I know they said that they were adding some more back there for next season. I would imagine that they plan to expand the park back there (I feel like I've heard talk of it already), which would make that section not seem so out of the way. I personally feel like it works well now that they have connected it to Splashin Safari. My explanation for the awesomeness that is Holiday World is, People work for people. When you have amazing people with great values that own, run, and operate the park, you get amazing people with great values to work there too. That's what I think anyway. That Europe update is getting closer. I can't wait!

Lesbians. And what Larry said.

I really, really, really want to do the China trip in 2012, but I've got a feeling that it will be a bit out of my budget. I'm hoping and keeping my fingers crossed though. There are some killer coasters that I want to ride there, plus that monster GCI that is being built right now! EDIT: Just wanted to ask what your thoughts are on the 2012 China trip?

iSpeed!!!

^ Love it!

YESSS!

This is awesome, Jordan! I can't wait till you get to the Europe portion. P.S. You wouldn't happen to be doing the North East US trip next year, would you?

That's what I was thinking. Same here. I think they look awesome. I love the horns on the front of the train too!

^ & ^^ I'm not sure about the others (even though I've ridden them, haha), but I know for a fact that the one at Kings Island used to have a functioning drift feature because I rode it when it was working. It was barely noticeable, but it was there. I'm guessing that is why the cars sit on those platforms/boxes instead of directly on the track.

If dubaidave doesn't reply to this, you should PM him. I would imagine he would have quite a bit of tricks and tips up his sleeve.

That's crazy! I had no idea that such a thing existed.

^ I noticed the count jumped WAY up in a short period of time. I posted a link on my Facebook to try and get some more votes for you.

I'll second that! Well, the S&S Screamin' Swing part anyway.

^ I'm calling shenanigans on that one! There is NO way that was drawn in paint with eyes closed. It even has a drop shadow/shading behind it.

Vote for Daniel!!!

It took a while, but I made it through your whole TR. Amazing! A very detailed, and very well written report. Thanks a bunch for sharing! Sounds like we share the same feelings about our first TPR trip. A life changing event that is impossible to put into words.

You got my vote! You've got a great voice, man. You ever record any other stuff?

While I think that GCI builds a pretty consistent ride in a lot of their woodies, I'd say this is certainly one of their best! --Robb That's what I got from the video. I know that I haven't ridden it, but it looks to be more intense and fun than any of the 10 that I've ridden. P.S. I LOVE GCI!

This thing looks AWESOME! Robb - Where do you think this sits with all the other GCI's?

^ HAHAHAHA... I love that one!

So I've watched it once on facebook and once on here now. This video gets my personal vote for THE funniest video on TPR! This is seriously some funny sh*t! Oh, and I can't forget to mention the adorable Kid-Tums with her little voice in the beginning jumping up and down with excitement. Too cute! EDIT: I had to add that I'm with Joey! I would have pulled a chair up for my ass and sat there all night!

EB & Robin... This is awesome! I love it. Keep 'em coming, guys! Robin - I'm still waiting to see your photos from the Europe trip that you took with those crazy little Holga like cameras. I was intrigued the whole trip.

^^ You're a babe! OK, my turn... This is me wearing a shirt from my Straight Edge clothing company. (Of course, I'm not always making the goofy face) This is a photo of me & Ryancrash on Colorado Adventure - The Michael Jackson Thrill Ride at Phantasialand in Germany which was my 300th coaster!

I've always wondered the same thing! Seems like it would be such an easy thing to do. P.S. Awesome photos as usual!
